Does Dana White's rivalry with Jake Paul affects the deal with Logan Paul - the UFC president answers
The relationship between Dana White, Logan Paul, and Jake Paul is complicated, to say the least. The UFC president has a well-documented rivalry with Jake Paul, and at the same time, he and Logan Paul are business associates.
Jake Paul has been a harsh critic of UFC fighter pay for years, while his older brother Logan's sports drink PRIME is the official sports drink of the premier MMA promotion.
However, it seems like Dana White will not let his troubled history with 'The Problem Child' affect his work with Logan Paul. During a recent interview on My Mom's Basement with Robbie Fox, the UFC president elaborated on his relationship with the Paul brothers, saying:
"I think there's a fascinating relationship between those two [Jake and Logan]. You know, they are obviously complete opposites and but I think as brothers they respect each other in the decisions that each one of them makes. Like when I'm around Logan, we don't talk about [the Jake rivalry] ."
He added:
"I don't hate Jake, I don't even know him. I really don't even know the guy... but Logan and I have. I don't hate the guy... I have no problems with this kid. Listen, if these guys can go out and get people to buy the fights and they can make some money, good for them, they are doing their f****g thing."

With the loss to Fury, 'The Problem Child's pro record currently stands at 6-1, while 'TNT' has improved his undefeated record to 9-0. Paul, however, has a rematch clause in his contract.
During his post-fight interview, the YouTuber stated his disagreement with the official result and called for a rematch with Fury:
“All respect to Tommy, he won. Don’t judge me by my wins, judge me by my losses. I’ll come back. I think we deserve that rematch. It was a great fight, a close fight. I don’t know if I agree with the judges. I got a 10-8 round twice, so it is what it is.”
Jake Paul doesn't agree with the decision and wants to run it back. He has a rematch clause. #PaulFury
